“…..The meeting is critical to developing the knowledge-base for those engaged in health disparity activities by facilitating trans-disciplinary exchanges of the latest research and practical applications by:
•increasing the capacity of researchers, practitioners, policymakers and communities to address complex health systems change, delivery of services, new models of medical care and public health, policies that facilitate access to health, and new methods of measurement for preventable diseases in underserved, poorly served and never served populations;
•promoting the application of evidence-based, theory-driven findings of disease prevention and health promotion for the elimination racial and ethnic health disparities;
•identifying gaps in knowledge and data of the broad spectrum of causal factors of health disparities and bringing together inter-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary and community-based approaches to achieve equity in health;
•exploring effective trans-disciplinary approaches to identify and address the social determinants of health related to health disparities; and,
•applying the latest theories, principles, programs, and practices to improving health literacy, cultural competency, and health communications programs to promote health and prevent disease among individuals living in communities characterized by poverty and health disparities.
